I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Ardleigh Green for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company Platform Home Loans Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Banks ordinarily restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have reduced the amount of firms they permit to act for them. Be aware that Platform Home Loans Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Platform Home Loans Ltd Conveyancer Panel.
